With the five-match T20I series currently tied 1-1, India and Australia would look to take the lead when they take each other in the third T20I today. The match is going to take place Brabourne stadium in Mumbai. The Harmpreet Kaur and Co would take heart from the fact that they fought back in style and held their nerves to clinch the Super Over. Alyssa Healy's team, at the same time, would be itching to come back to winning ways. India will bank on the the likes of Richa Ghosh, Deepti Sharma, who are in some amazing form at the moment.

Ghosh has really shown she is improving to be one of the best batters in the shortest format of the game. Smriti Mandhana, Shafali Verma and Harmanpreet will be key player for Team India as well. It is important, from India's perspective, to push Australians on the back foot from the word go and apply pressure. They can be dangerous if they are given the freedom to play their aggressive brand of cricket. 


Hrishikesh Kantikar, batting coach, gave a long speech to the Indian team after the end of the 2nd T20I. He had told them to enjoy the moment but warned that they should not take the foot off the pedestal.
